In-N-Out is America's favorite burger for the third straight year.

Not a huge in-n-out fan, but I acknowledge it is kind of a regional obsession (see "Wawa's and the East Coast"). Five Guys and Whataburger being in the top few sounds right though
But who the fricking hell actually likes Sonic burgers? Every single thing they sell, other than the shakes, tastes like the same greasy residue. And I wouldn't be surprised if some of the shakes also taste like whatever brand of grease they use.

Yeah I think a "drive-thru" ranking is a good way to do it. Even then I prefer Whataburger to In-n-Out. At the sit down places Five Guys is my favorite but the prices have gotten straight up ridiculous.
First time I had in-n-out burger I wasn't that impressed because it tasted exactly like a burger I've been eating for years here in NY. For anyone in NYC, Petey's Burger is almost the same as In-n-out's burger.

Sad thing is Wendy's was pretty good a few years back. I stopped going there for a minute for weight loss reasons. One day I was craving a baconator, got one, and it was hot garbage. Thought maybe it was a fluke but the next one was the same. They use to be big and juicy but the meat was now smaller and drier plus the burger was mushed down.
>Doesn't serve half the country
>Favourite burger of the country
Lmao get the fuck out trash poll

Some of those results make no sense. How is Five Guys top for service speed or McDonald's so low for value
Either way I do agree that In-N-Out is the best fast food burger

I was so disappointed by In-N-Out after moving to California and finally trying it a few times (once regular, another time animal-style).
Heard nothing but glowing recommendations for years, and finally trying it I found them utterly plain and unremarkable, made worse by how poor their fries are. How can you not do fries well at a burger joint? I've had substantial better frozen, cook-at-home fries.
And I get that they probably keep the menu simple to keep costs down, but no option for bacon? Come on.
Milkshakes are the only thing solid that I've tried there.

they probably are getting just as much boiling as frying since they're just dropping fresh cut (wet, starch-bleeding) potato right into the oil. the escaping steam is killing the end product. all the best fry methods require some kind of starch removal and double or even triple frying, but since they're committed to being fast, they're not going to do that.
Little tip. Best day to get fries from in n out is Friday. They dump oil on Wednesday's. By Friday,-Sunday, it's at that perfect sweet spot. Tuesday's might be the worst day to get fries however.
As good as a normal double double is, try getting one plain, meat and cheese on bun only.
Like I said before, try cold cheese.
Try animal style.
If you don't want a bun, try the Flying Dutchman.
Hell, try their grilled cheese.
There food is best eaten immediately, as it doesn't travel well, and if you do need to travel, ask for the meal in a box.
Remember, free hot cocoa for all children if it rains one drop on the same day.

When I'm not super hungry, I get a cheeseburger animal style and a grilled cheese animal style. Has all the great taste of the cheese burger but without the meat.
Yup. My wife is a manager at In n Out. She just competed in their Buger Bowl. It's a trivia game with stores battling each other with In n Out trivia. I helped her study.
They truly are a wonderful company.
I can't wait for the shit show of traffic the one opening out here in Colorado Springs will bring.
Never had in and out, one day hopefully, I think Five guys is best but overpriced, smashburger doesn't make the best burgers but they do definitely make the best Milkshakes at any food chain that doesn't specifically do ice cream.
Seeing the other places it's grouped with ( besides Red Robin that's random) maybe some people can settle down when In N Out is so lauded . The less nonsense "NAW you gotta get the Shake Shack/ Five Guys Burger like this! * lists 13$+ Burger*" the better.
A chain that only operates in like 5 states can never be considered "America's Favorite" burger. There's like 200 million people here who have never even seen an In-N-Out location.
Important to note that Five Guys actually beats In-N-Out in the area of Food Quality, which is the only thing that really matters when we are talking about fast food. People aren't going to these places for the ambiance or the jovial happy employees.

I'll be on my deathbed proclaiming that two McDoubles and a medium fries is the best fast food meal ever.
Had my first In-n-Out burger last month. Agree that it's the best, no question. Crazy that the tasteless, grey globs they try passing off as burgers at Five Guys are rated so highly though.
Five Guys is complete and utter trash. Overpriced trash at that.

I agree with it for best value. It's priced like it's McDs/Wendy's/BK tier, when it's definitely a step up, but if you're comparing it to the places that charge a few bucks more? Nah. Also just don't care for the sauce everything is drenched in.
All I see from these polls, is that Five Guys would win if they didn't charge so damn much for them.
Recently had Red Robins for the 1st time in a decade. Not a fan. A very average burger, and the fries were average. Not great when it costs the same as a meal at a Restaurant.
A Culver's just opened in the area, so it looks like a good time to try it out.
Cookout would win by it's overwhelming win in "Value for Money Spent", if it had been on the poll.

I like Five Guys as well, but their burgers are wrapped in foil which makes them get soggy if you're picking up to go. INO solves this by using a sleeve where the burger can vent a bit.
Also, whenever I pick up Five Guys I have to like use a towel or plastic bag to prevent the grease from staining my car seats.
I've had Shake Shack 3 times now and I don't get the hype. The burger is fine, but honestly no better than INO quality, and it's more expensive. If I'm going for a more upscale burger experience, I'll just go to Hopdoddy which is several tiers above every burger place mentioned in this thread.
